I'm better now

Well, the day did get slightly better. I suppose it will be ok. In the long run, I guess it's all about getting better and my principal thinks having half the gov classes will be better for me. I'm not sure...but I'll be ok. I just love those classes and I've taken ownership of them. I dunno, it's fun to be "the AP Gov teacher."The kids are all mine but they won't be next year. Oh well.

We played heads up seven up today. It was so funny. My students are such kids. They were giggling and squealing with the best of them. We also watched Gordon Brown (the suspected new Prime Minister of Britain) pick his nose.

I got on here to tell my stories but I don't feel like it so maybe I won't.

Today the kids told me they started a facebook group for me "Burd Appreciation." I've been "poked" 12 times in the last two days and I've gotten 15 friend requests. Now that they're test is over they're obsessed with my personal life and determined to break into it. Jake sent me a message on facebook that I should join the group or at least look at the wall, but I can't find it. I wonder if it's in a different network and so I can't see it. I dunno. But, that made me smile even when I felt bad. But it also made me sad because although next year will still be good, for different reasons, I won't have my loyal following of AP Gov kids...because they won't all be mine. I guess what I am learning is that I had a tough assignment this year and maybe God made this year and my relationship with these kids special so that I could make it through. Next year the change in classes will change things around, but I won't need the support as much of my kids.

Anyway, i'm going to go watch a movie.
